Thanks for everyone's input. I think it's safe to say I clearly won the argument and he owes me an apology and a fishing trip 😝. I'm joking of course. He's a good friend. If he doesn't want tattle flags, then I'll sneak mine onboard and run them off one side of his boat. I bet he will have flags next time I see him lol. Thanks everyone. I learned everything I know from asking questions here. Then it's trial and error as I figure out how to apply the concepts and techniques everyone here is unselfishly willing to share. I've caught a ton of fish in just a few short years because of it. Lake trips are too expensive to not want to maximize your chances of success. Thanks again.
